    Hold On To Me Babe    by Tom Paxton from "Ain't That News"
    ..................    .....................................

    C                                      F                   C
    As my achin' head keeps begging, for a sleep that will not come
    C                                     G[7]
    I rise and walk the morning streets again
           C                                F                C
    I keep wond'rin how you're doin', and I wonder where you are
                            G                     C
    And I know I'll be all right but I don't know when

              C          F         C       G
 CH:          Hold on to me babe, wherever you may be
              C          F        C            G    C
              Hold on to me babe, I'm with you always


    There was something locked inside you, like a secret burning pain

    In a prison where you would not let me go

    I was sure we'd find the answer, 'till I woke and found you gone

    Now just what it was I guess I'll never know

    CH:


    I keep holding on to something, though I don't know what it is

    But at least I know the sound of my own name

    And I work as hard as ever, and I see the same old friends

    But there's something deep inside , that ain't the same


    CH:

    Tom repeats the 1st verse at the end
